A COMPARATIVE 2G AND 3G MOBILE TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The mobile communication technologies in terms of speed, bandwidth, latency, modulation techniques, and network architecture. The transition from 2G (introduced in 1991) to 3G (commercialized in 2001) marked a tenfold increase in data transmission capability from up to 64 kbps in 2G to 2 Mbps in 3G. The study uses both qualitative and quantitative parameters to analyze perfonnance differences, user experience, and global adoption. It highlights how 3G's packet-switched data and WCDMAICDMA2000 standards revolutionized mobile internet, paving the way for 4G and 5G networks.
